In 2015, a Japanese old man named Nakajima Youhara came to Northeast China. He was a descendant of the Japanese invaders. He became an orphan during the war of aggression in China and was adopted by his adopted father and mother.
Nakajima Yuhara returned to Japan when he was 16 years old. When he came to China again after 57 years, he was 73 years old and his adoptive father and mother had passed away.

Nakajima Yuba knelt in front of the tombstone, telling his longing for his adoptive father and mother. He cried and said, "My biggest regret in my life is that I failed to be filial to my adoptive mother and mother, and I was sorry for my adoptive father and mother..."
Nakajima Yuba is a member of the China-Japan Friendship Association. He talked about the War of Resistance Against Japan many times, thinking that Japan's invasion of China was wrong and should repent and apologize.

Our article today, let’s look at the human nature of Chinese farmers in the years of war, and the touching deeds of raising the descendants of the invaders.
All of this starts from September 18, 1931. After Japan invaded , the three northeastern provinces, it began to engage in so-called "armed immigration" and sent the Japanese at the bottom of society to Northeast China.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it means leaving the rich in Japan and sending the poor at the bottom abroad. This not only invaded China, but also resolved various domestic conflicts.
According to Japan's plan, it is planned to "immigrate" millions of Japanese lower-class population to China's White Mountain Black Soil in the next few decades.
942, Nakajima Youba was born in Tokyo, Japan. A year later, the whole family joined the so-called "Manchurian pioneer group" and left Japan Island to go to the three northeastern provinces of China.
Japanese invaders are like hammers, while Nakajima Yuhachi and his family are like nails. Although there are ten thousand reluctant people, they are smashed into China's land.
Nakajima Youhara was still sipping milk, his father Hiroshi Nakajima was already forced to enlist in the army and entered the battlefield in North China. Since then, there has been no news.

The mother's name is Nakajima Kiyoro. She took her son and young daughter to "Ameng" in Wangjiatun, Ning'an County, Mudanjiang Province, and carried out the so-called land reclamation, which is actually not much different from colonization.
When Nakajima was 3 years old, Japan announced unconditional surrender. Moreover, because the winter was too cold and the food was too scarce, my sister unfortunately died.
The Japanese at this time, in addition to those living in the local area, can be roughly divided into the following four categories:
, the 100,000 Tokyo people killed by the US military.
, Okinawa's scapegoat.
, The dead soul under the atomic bomb .
. These Japanese people who were abandoned by "Pseudo Manchukuo", including Nakajima Yuhachi.
In addition to these four categories, there are several small branches, which will not be described here.
In countless historical classics, the first three types of Japanese are described in detail, but they are downplayed by the fourth type, or even deliberately forgotten it.
Japan has surrendered, and the so-called "Pseudo Manchukuo" naturally collapsed. The top-level people were detained in prison . The upper and middle-level Japanese escaped through various channels, but lower-level Japanese like Nakajima Yuhachi can only leave their fate.
Nakajima Kiyoi watched her daughter starve to death, and her eyes looked at her dying son, and also looked at her hands. She realized in great despair that her family would die in China.
Nakajima Kiyoi went to a small shop outside the village, begging the shop owner to adopt his poor son... and the shop owner didn't want anything.
Just when Kiyoro Nakajima was completely lost, a woman's voice sounded behind her: "If you don't want it, I'll pull it!"
Kiyoro Nakajima turned around and looked at a kind-looking Chinese woman, wearing a shabby dress and her boots exposed with gray-white cotton wool.
This kind Chinese peasant woman is named Sun Zhenqin. He took the sick Japanese boy into his arms in the longing look of Kiyoro Nakajima.
After Sun Zhenqin took Nakajima Youhara home, she gave me meticulous care every day, chewed the food himself, and fed it to the Japanese boy in her arms.

Sun Zhenqin gently massages Nakajima Yuhara's belly to help the little boy digest... After a few days, Nakajima Yuhara slowly opened his eyes and escaped from the death's claws.
There are actually many Japanese orphans in Northeast China. Take Nakajima Youbashi in the village where there are 15 Japanese war orphans.
Nakajima Youba lived in the village for a few months, and his biological mother Nakajima Kiyoi came to see him again and said that he could return to Japan now. Do you agree?
At this time, the local staff stood up and said directly: Let the children make their own decisions, not the adults of both sides.
Nakajima Youba chose his adoptive mother Sun Zhenqin without hesitation, and then began his Chinese life for more than ten years.
adoptive father was named Chen Yugui. He gave Nakajima Youba a Chinese name, Chen Qinghe.

Their father-son relationship is very good and the family is very harmonious. He gave Nakashima Youba a happy childhood.
Although, in the previous decades of history, the Japanese had only naked invasion of China. However, abnormal adoption has happened, that is, to train these children to be spies.
But After Japan surrendered to , the kind Chinese adopted more than 3,000 Japanese orphans.
950, something unfortunate happened. When his adoptive father Chen Yugui returned home at night, he unfortunately encountered the wandering mad dog . After being bitten, he was infected with rabies and died.
Sun Zhenqin took her adopted son Nakajima Youba and married a village cadre named "Li Xiwen" and started a new life, so Nakajima Youba changed his name again and was named Li Chenglin.
Sun Zhenqin and Li Xiwen
Li Xiwen's tutoring was very strict. He asked Nakajima Yuba to study hard and study hard. Although it seemed a bit strict, in 1954, Nakajima Yuba was seriously ill, and Li Wenxi held his child around the world for medical treatment.
When Sun Zhenqin remarried again, she married a chef named Zhao Shusen, so Nakajima Yuba changed his name to Zhao Chenglin again.
The three adoptive fathers are all very good to Nakajima Youba. Take Zhao Shusen as an example. He is very concerned about Nakajima Youba's learning and never tire of educating his adopted son. Knowledge changes his destiny and can change his life.
Nakajima Youba felt the kindness of the Chinese from his adoptive mother Sun Zhenqin, and he learned in-depth about the qualities of the Chinese from his adoptive father Zhao Shusen.
Since Japan surrendered, Zhao Shusen has helped many Japanese refugees, but he has never told his adopted son Nakajima Youba that he will not seek rewards for doing good deeds, and will hide his merits and fame.
Many years later, Nakajima Yuhachi accidentally learned about this in Japan, and then he deeply felt what the quality of the Chinese is. But this is a later story.
In short, Nakajima Yuihara had a deep impression of the third adoptive father. He learned from Zhao Shusen to be generous, grateful, honest, and most importantly, and letting go of hatred and facing the future.
Because Zhao Shusen always bends, Nakajima Yuhara calls him Zhao Tuoback in his memoirs. Although his waist is bent, he is the hero in his adopted son's heart.
Nakajima When he was 14 years old, his biological mother Nakajima Kiyoro contacted the Chinese Red Cross Society, hoping to take his son back to Japan.
On the other hand, China went to the countryside in the northeast and told the story about it again. Sun Zhenqin was very calm and listened to everything.
China also said to Nakajima Youhara that you can return to Japan immediately as long as you are willing now.
Nakajima Yuya's attitude is very firm. He said that he would never go back to Japan. If anyone forcibly pulls himself away, he would jump on the train halfway.
When Sun Zhenqin heard this, she was very moved and hugged the child and shed tears. She had not been raised in vain for these years.
In a small village in the northeast, Nakajima Youhara and other Japanese orphans have received good care and protection from the local and villagers. All levels have taken measures to allow these Japanese orphans who remain in China to live a stable and happy life.
When Nakajima Youhara went to school, he repeatedly stated that his favorite was China rather than Japan, so when he reached the age of joining the Pioneer Team, he was the first member of the class.
The one who changed Nakajima Youba was a teacher named Liang Zhijie in the school...

Teacher Liang has an international perspective. He is very good to Nakajima Youba, just like a kind big brother. As Nakajima Yuhara grew up, Liang Zhijie said, "Child, you should go back to Japan."
Nakajima Yuhara asked, "Teacher Liang, I don't want to go to Japan, why do you want me to go back?"
Liang Zhijie said, "The relationship between China and Japan needs people like you to repair it."
Nakajima Yuhara hurriedly asked how to repair it? Liang Zhijie talked in detail about the relationship between China and Japan and the importance of this international relationship.
Liang Zhijie's earnest teachings changed Nakajima Yuhara's worldview, so when the boy was sixteen years old, he embarked on the road to return to China.
From villages, towns, cities, provinces... all levels of China helped Nakajima Yuba return to China. When this child came, he was on the "Baishanmaru" ship, and it happened to be the same ship when he returned to China.
Nakajima Yuhara returned to his biological mother and began his miserable youth. The hardships in material life can be ignored. As long as you have a full meal, it is mainly because Japanese society excluded Nakajima Yuhara.
Nakajima Youhara
When I was in China, everyone around me cared about Nakajima Youhara's growth and never regarded him as an outsider. After arriving in Japan, it was completely reversed. The reason for this is self-evident...
However! When Nakajima Yuhara was in China, he learned to be strong, optimistic and tolerant. He studied hard in Japan, studied hard, and made friends with everyone, so he integrated into the lives of the locals a few years later.
1966, many companies were willing to invite Nakajima Youhara, but this young Japanese man with special experience chose to join the Japan-China Friendship Association.
A more miserable life has begun. Nakajima Yuhachi hopes that China and Japan will be friendly, but in Japan, it faces some violent obstacles.
When the gentle Nakajima Youhara was beaten countless times and was injured and hospitalized many times.
But Nakajima Yuihachi was never intimidated and never thought of giving up. He always remembered Qifeng Primary School in Northeast China. A teacher Liang said that China and Japan should be friendly.
Nakajima Youba was in Japan, and he had received Liao Zhongkai's sons Liao Chengzhi, Deng Yingchao, etc.
In the Sino-Japanese cooperation project, Nakajima Yuhara also participated in it, running to promote Sino-Japanese relations.
Nakajima Yuba began to write memoirs in his later years. Because more than 3,000 Japanese war orphans like himself seemed to be forgotten by history, he called on everyone to remember the scars of history.
In 2015, a memoir written by Nakajima Yuhara began to sell well in Japan.
Nakajima Youhara
Many people were moved by the content in the book. Chinese couples put aside their hatred and raised the war orphans of Japan...
Nakajima Youhara was interviewed by major mainstream TV stations in Japan and lectured at major universities. They all publicly said: Japan should reflect on the war of aggression, and should understand the kindness of the Chinese people and the spirit of the Chinese nation...
In July, Nakajima Youhara took the crew of Japanese TV station and embarked on the road to China.
Nakajima Youba once again entered the northeastern village in his childhood and adolescence. He knelt in front of the grave of his adoptive father and mother, and felt his eyes heat up and tears quickly flowed out.
According to Nakajima Yuhara himself, the most sorry for him in his life was his adoptive father and adoptive mother. He clearly saved his life, but he could not fulfill his filial piety and failed to die...
This is also one of the reasons Nakajima Yuhara is committed to China-Japan friendship. He wants to make up for his guilt towards his adoptive father and adoptive mother to make up for the relationship between China and Japan, and hope to be friendly and friendly.
Nakajima Youba talked about the war of aggression against China, he often said: "As a Japanese, I should apologize to the Chinese."
